What week is it on Bake Off? Episode 7 theme

It is Free From Week in the Great British Bake Off tent, with episode seven marking the theme’s first appearance in five years.

Starting off strong with the signature, the bakers must create gluten-free pastries for a children’s party. Then for the technical, the contestants must make a vegan chocolate cake in the shape of an animal.

Finally, the showstopper is a children’s birthday cake which must be either plant-based, gluten-free, or dairy-free, AND feature a moving part.
